BIG Thanks to Matt for the heads up (and that I'd not fully stored all of my 
set-up from the past weekend's contest even though it was all out/off of the 
car).

With a quick set-up on the car to mount a three element beam atop a painter's 
pole in the window of the door behind the driver and elevated to about 17 feet 
and 175 Watts or so from my FT-897D and TE Systems Brick, I was able to catch 
FM28 Delaware and FM17 & 18 in Virginia on 2 meters.

After two meters faded, I tried 6 meters with my vertical hamstick magmounted on 
the roof of the Corolla, I worked about a dozen stations from NYC down the east 
coast to SE Georgia and into Alabama.

All of this with what was a "Rover" (mobile) set-up.

Again, BIG Thanks to Matt!

73, JK
